The Russians had virtually no ammunition and some even had to share one assault rifle between two.
VIDEO: Ukraine: Russian soldiers appear to 'surrender'
Russian troops killed their commander after he tried to stop them from surrendering to Ukraine's army, it has been reported. The soldiers were part of the recently mobilised reserve and had just arrived at the front. Vladimir Putin's army has suffered a series of humiliating defeats on the battlefield in recent weeks.
Ukraine's army has made spectacular advances in the northeast, east and south of the country as they continue their counteroffensive on a number of fronts.
The military setbacks have forced the Kremlin to shake up their military command yet again and introduce a nationwide "partial" mobilisation.
Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu announced in September a draft of 300,000 reservists to help boost frontline troops fighting in Ukraine.
The announcement led to a mass exodus of Russian men from the country, as they sought to escape the call-up.
Those unable to flee were forced to report for duty at military enlistment offices.
Ukraine's military launched a hotline called "I want to live", encouraging conscripted Russians to get in touch and promising them safety and humane treatment if they surrendered.
Russia has been warned it is in "big trouble" with the war in Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin's battlefield plan is torn apart by a veteran British Army commanding officer.
The Russian Army has suffered a series of huge setbacks in recent months, and found itself pushed back out of key territories thanks to heroic counteroffensive operations from Ukrainian troops.
Now a group of Russian soldiers appear to have responded to the offer in a bid to avoid the slaughter at the front.
The men were sent to a hotspot within days of being called-up without either adequate training nor proper equipment.
The Russians had virtually no ammunition and some even had to share one assault rifle between two.
They were told in no uncertain circumstances by their commander that they would be shot if they attempted to retreat.
Realizing the hopelessness of their situation, the soldiers secretly contacted Ukraine's army via the hotline and agreed to surrender.
When the time came to lay down their arms, they shot their commander and handed themselves in.
Ukraine's special forces told Channel 24: "A group of mobilised men, by prior arrangement, went out into the square indicated by our fighters.
"They had no ammunition, so they only gave us their weapons.
"They received medical assistance, because everyone was sick. They received food and were satisfied.
"They will go to the camp after interrogations. They'll be safe."
Reports emerged on Friday that Putin's military recruiters were rounding up men on the streets and from their apartments in both Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
If Putin is turning to the T-62 tank, his forces are massively being decimated.

Silly friend, keep in mind this SMO is just that. Mainline Russian troops have not been mobilized, ( that requires their Duma authorization) 300,000 reserves, prior service, have been called up. We will see if 300,000 prior service can free up some of those standing by on Russia’s borders for a possible NATO offensive. Do keep in mind, mainline Russian forces just took part in joint excercises with China and India….and Vlad Is doing well in Syria. There is no shortage of Russian soldiers.
Hope Putin’s 1.25 million man army is not mobilized, the Ukies 400,000 ( worn out and severely reduced) would have a problem. In any case, time will tell.
would like to know how many Russians are gun ho for this war.

Well, if non western media is correct, 75,000 young Ivan’s volunteered in addition to the 300,000 prior service called up.
Do keep in mind when I was training Ivans in Moscow, Putin was much like Trump, he has a better than 80 percent approval rating. A Bare chested President riding a horse has more appeal to the young than a senile, corrupted, weak old man.
btw The Minsk Agreements required Russia to respect Ukraine’s territorial borders
which Russia didn’t do ... it invaded Ukarine in 2014
as usual, Russia is the one who reneged on a signed agreement
I’ve reported this post as abuse. In my honest opinion, this person is simply making this BS up.
“Hello, is anybody in there? Can you hear me? Is anyone at home?”. Pink Floyd.

What ever, fact is now Russia has the ethnic Russian provinces, they are not giving them up. Believe what ever you want, right or wrong , they are now part of the Russian Federation. Reality. A win for Vlad.
No problem: Check out link for article:

That is what I posted about with the tweet.
I was adding another incident to your thread.
Maybe you should take a rest.
If that BS about soldiers sharing rifles were true, Vladimir Putin would PERSONALLY drive a truckload of rifles out to the front....
Thanks for your observations. When I worked in Tbilisi I spent some time in Sochi. There wasn’t a single sober Russian anywhere. Indians ran the hospitality industry. The Rus were perpetually drunk.
Would that be an attack in actual Russia? And by mutinying Russian troops, Russian partisans, or Ukranians, official or unofficial?

I just posted the translated graphic in question without comment.
“Would that be an attack in actual Russia? And by mutinying Russian troops, Russian partisans, or Ukranians, official or unofficial?”
I read that the shooters were from Tajikistan. I’ve not read anywhere that Tajikistan has committed troops to this war, so I’d assume the shooters were volunteers. I also read that there was some quarrel over religion.
You need to work harder.This isn’t nearly as entertaining as “russians out of missiles” or “russians forgot food and eat dogs”.surely you can find better propaganda than this?
Sounds like propaganda,Heroic troops?!
